[PEM11-07] Space Weather at NOAA
★Invited Papers
The U.S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a significant role in the U.S. space weather enterprise. Included is the mandate to (1) provide operational space weather monitoring, forecasting, and long-term data archiving and access for civil applications, (2) maintain ground-based and space-based assets to provide observations needed for space weather forecasting, prediction, and warnings, (3) provide research to support operational responsibilities, and (4) develop requirements for space weather forecasting technologies and science. NOAA recently established an Office of Space Weather Observations (SWO) to address several of these responsibilities. This talk will describe the NOAA SWO programs and plans, the overall NOAA space weather activities, and international coordination for space weather operations and research.
